Hi
bought a Time Ranger back in July. When was real damp in UK. The machine was giving false signals on every swipe and a blade of wet grass was enough to send it crazy. Following advice here changed coil under warranty and \also bought 10" coil. Both worked fine and great depth BUT was dry ground.
Today done a rally with the 10" coil, worked perfect where dry soon as moved up hill where ground was covered in dew and a bit damp the detector again exhibited all the false signals as with old 8". Was using programme 4 and altered sensitivity to no avail. Returned to "base camp" left detector for 30 mins then tried again on bottom dry field. It worked fine.
Dry is the exception here.
Anyone with any ideas or similar experiences?
have tightened/loosened the cable. Checked the connections put fresh batteries in etc. I guess is a fault around sensitivity but I can not fathom how wet/damp at the coil affects the signal etc so badly.
On dry ground it is a very impressive machine
